It therefbre, to be hoped that Miss DUN• CAN will Come forward and prove that this charge against her has originated in secret malevolence, and has no foundation. in truth. It is the more necessary for Miss DUNCAN to vindicate herself on this occa sion, as she never attempted to do so with respe& to the charge brought against her a few months ago by the Windsor Manager, of having most obstinately resisted all his efforts to induce. her to fulfil an en . gagement into which she had catered to perform at • that place, and of keeping th 4 audience in a fruitless %tate Of susuence for two or three hours. I re- Member, Mr. Editor, that when some illiberal re tleaions were thrown upon Miss DUNCAN for hav ing set up a carriage, you very properly took up her Cause, and observed, that if the exertion of her ta lents enabled her to possess such a convenience, she, had a right to enjoy it. Refietiions of such a na ture generally arise from spleen and' envy,, and are best answered with contempt. But the, pre • accusatien 'concerns the Public in its great . tiational and the most useful an'd moral of its amusements, and therefore is entitled to your Ilotice, and deserves your decided censure if it Shan appear to be founded in truth. I do not mean by this remark to pay any .compliment to • DUNCAN, but to observe, that if she has per , fvrnied ii principal charai.iter in a favourite play, and the Mana.;ers do not think proper to represent that play bgeause She.refusAka..to do her duty, she thereby- depriyes the public of.a gratification arising front the play itself. I am glad, however, to find that the latter disappointment is not likely to take place, as Mrs. Joactms. has with great kindness offered the powerful support of her Vmperior abilities. But it is to be observed, Mr. Editor, that the refusal charg-, ed on Mish DUNGAN happens at a time when the subordinate Performers have their benefits, upon which they rely as a great source of their subsistence duri,ng the apprtiiching -theatrical ,recess. There fore, ou the score of humanity to her less fortunate brother; and sisters 'of the sock and buskin (who are uever likely to step into a carriage of their own), as well .as of insult to other performers, who might falrly be deemed fit substitutes for Mr. ELLISTON,' iPiustica and ingratitude to the Proprietors, and. dii %taped to the public, it is absolutely incumbent up oo Miss DUN CAN to defend her charatler, and to Prove that it has been cruelly defamed by anony mous malignity.

Wednesday last, of the state of affairs in that ,Counrry. Some more Val tieularg, however, have transpired respeaing the nature of the Mission entrusted to Viscount MA- rasosA and Den Theo° DE LA VCGA. The Mar- quir Da SANTA CRUZ, who is at the head of the l'rovisional Governments of AstuAas and ,Gallicia, is a yonng , Noblernan of high spirit; and is in particular esteem. in the former Province. To him is corn .mitted the cotnniand . of that Patriotic Army which we hope is destined to rescue t heir Country from a fo regn yoke. The Marquis DR OVIEDO, who is joined 'ith him in the "condtid of the national of affairs, is also a Nobleman' in whose spirit and virtue the People Place entire cenfidenee. The Proclamation issued by the Spaniards breathes the most energetic ardour of patriotism, and is admirably calculated to rouse t he spirit of the People in all quarters. The Pis trjes of St. Andero and Leon have anooenced. their readi ness to co-operate in any proceedings that may • :end.to save th cm from an upstart Tyrant. The popu :Ill" of Asturias alone, it is said, prop , :qi/dire(ited, would make an effeEtual stand against the Enemy but as the Patriotic Army was daily increasing, and. 48 the zeal fur independence animated all ranks and Oegtees o f b o th sexcp," there is great reason to. hope f() rit suceesiful, result. The two .Noblemen who ai'e arrived in thii country have, we are confident- I Y assured • upon the best authority, brought full Power from those patriotic Nobles who in the pre sent important crisis have been invested by their CuuntrYmeri with the Provisional Government of the St ate, to treat with the British Government, as well a letter immediately addressed to His MAJEsTv, a " 'a Coil of the Manifesto, which lids been cir culated through every part of Spain to which they Lad an opportunity of forwarding it since the' b anishment of the Royal Family by the crafty Tyrant of France. This Proclamation was dated the rot!' May; after stating that, it, deemed the abdi-. cation of the. Royal Family of Spain a measure f °rced upon them by the man who held them in . vaptivity, it represented the declaration of the Royal will, as to future probeedings, as destitute of all pro- Per authOrity, and declared that the People of Spain "Ott to consider themselves as absolved from their all egiance to the abdicating Monarch, re:peaiog, the appointment Of a Successor to the Throne, and main- - taitiing that the c h o ice reverted tO the People , I :';liiCh they were resolved to execute, without the intervention of a foreign Slyer. tUe _mean time; Bbcisiraturs is calling his Troops from all quarters in order to pour therd into Spain. 'The Captain of a Vessel, the DitO Effieto, whd llas arrived from St. Übe's, which plaCe he left on the 18th ult. states, that the French Troops in Portugal consist chiefly of raw Conscripts, and that the Spa nish Army in that kingdom is equally as nutnerouti, and much better disciplined than the French ; and it is' by no means probable that when they hear of the events which hive taken place its Spain, they will remain qUiet ,speaatofs of the struggle in which their Country is engaged. It is *farther said, that Don CAYESANOVALDES, the CoMmander of the Carthagena Squadron, now at Port Mahon, in an swer to MURAT'S requisition, that the Spanish Fleet should be sent as soon as opportunity offered, for better. proteaion, to Toulon, signified, that he could nor comply with the order, or obey any commands but such as came from the lawful Monarch of his Coun try. According to report, Bilboa, as well as ndero, and Gijon, have beet] thrown open to the British . Ships. We have, as we before assured our Readers, . . the fullest ground for belieting that the Adtuinistra tion'of this Country are losing no time in promoting !..measures. best calculated to comply with the wishes • which the patriotic Spanish Army have expi'essed,. for the assistance of this Country, conveyed through the medium of the two Noblemen who arrived on Wednesday morning. Though we have so often been disappointed in our hopes of seeing a check given to the ambitious career of the French Ruler, yet these cheering tidings from Spain induce us to-in dulge the hope that be has at length tried the patience of mankind too far, and that the oppression, die lence, and the rapacity of his character are destined, under the direction of all-ruling. Providence, to pro duce his own downfall, an event that will give free dom to so many suffering People, and diffuse Peace and tranquillity over the exhausted Nations of Europe. Since writing the-above we have learned that the two Spanish Noblemen whose' arrival in . this Country we announced on Wednesday, have entered into an arrangement with our Qovernment, in conse quence of which all the Spanish PriSoners in this. ,Country are to be immediately liberated, and• sent back to their own Country. A very considerable quantity of Ammunition has already been sent off for the use of the Spanish Patriots., The Expedition tinder Sir ARTHUR WELList.L' i it is said, goes first to Gibraltar. • 'On its arrival there it will be ascertained on what' point of Spain this force, which_ is unklofrtrood /cite sent but for toe as .. sistauce of the: Spanish Patriots, can be must ettee tually employed. : :.. . ...

Captain HILL, who very politely accompanied the two Spanish Noblemen just arrived in the metropo lis, commands the Humber armed ship. This gal lant and highly meritorious Officer has occasionally displayed great intrepidity during a long professional servitude, and was First Lieutenant -on board the Minotaur, in the ever memorable battle of the Nile. For the manner in which lie signalized himself in this splendid adion he was' promoted to the rank at Master and Commander. We are enabled, from high authority; to contradi't the report of his hav ing received five hundred gUineas for the facilivies he afforded the Noble and Loyal Spaniards in clues lion in their ,passage to this country. Captain HILL, both in his private and professional charader; is uni versally respected. Extract of a Letter from Riga, dated. M a y 7 . ,, -" 1' mentioned in my last that the ice had left our river;` and now we have three arrivals -a Lubecker, a vessel from OportO, and an American. The arrival of the American ves,..sel put a little life into thingS yesterday, but only for a moment, as the orders that are here give us no hopes of trade. There has been an order here since two post days, that no vessel coming from Eng land shall be permitted to enter this Port, under what ever Fla g it may be (the Russian ships coining from ' England are of course. excepted) ;. and the shippers of goods are to give bond equal to the amount of the goods they ship, that they are not to 'be landed in Eng: land.' ".'were needless commenting on this order; the consegnences are evident. I under Stand that our Port Captain has an order not to allow any Vesseli 'to loact here." ' . The fate of.the ca 7 devaßt Queen of Etruria is not a little' extraordinary; even in :this age, whicli has accustomed us to every sort of a - iversion. horn a Princess of Spain, in 1782, 'daughter of the` de posed CUARLES thefourth, she was married at thir• teen years of age to Loins, Prince.of Parma. ' The Peace of Luneville, in 1801, made her . Queen of Tuscany, or, in the French revolutionary jargon, of Etruria, declared a Kingdom by BUONAt'ARTE.— Ber husband dying' soon afterwards, she governed that fine portion of Italy, as Regent, 'during her son's minority. - NAt'OLLOCI then dismissed her front her short-lived sovereignty, and sent her back' to her father in Spain. Scarcely was she arrived at Madrid, than, by order of Moiticr, she said:, a child of eight years old, are seized, and transfer red, as appendages of the Spanish branch of the. House of BOURBON, to Bayonne. The final retnoVe will be from thence into the interior of France, as i prisoner. We find, in fact, by the Moniteur of .

Aniongst the young Ladies who particelarly shone, we have to notice Miss &ma. ToomisoN and Miss 130%1 , N, in a Pas Suel, and Miss Rica, who danced a minuet with Mr. Weßrren in,the Most finished stile.—A grand ballet-datice was performed immediately' be fore the minuet by 32 young ladies, with the utmost ease and elegance, most forcibly evincing the very superior abilities of their tutor: , The arrangements for the evening were ably conduCied, and could not tail to give general satisfailion ; indeed, when we consider the great assistance Miss P. must receive from the abilities of the accoMpliblied Miss SINGER,- we can readily account for the pre-eminence of that ,schooL : aitheir united talents must entitle it to rank among the first in this kingdom.

The mare was driven by a youth sixteen , years of nee, and she performed six miles and un half in half an hour, hav ing once Made a break. The animal broke again af ter having performed t t miles in 64 minutes, when sheaves pulled up, it being evident that speed had beaten her in every mile of the race,. for she was not distressed. it must afford the highest satiscaetion to every feeling mind to observe the present diminution , of capital punishments in the Metropolis. Instead of twelve or twenty wretched vi6,-tims being hang up every six weeks, as was tbrmerly the case; there has been' but a single executiou during the eight months in which the present Sheriffs have been - in office, and that a very aggravated case of f'orge►y. It is equally satisfactory to observe, that this mild' administration ofthi; laws does not tend to diminish the salutary effea of them, fur there were never so, few cases of aggravated crime as at_present. • On Wedneuay morning last, a JlLiti of the name of Cameron,,jest arrived frbm Scoiladdkdropped down dead in a house in Surroy-strect, Stabdi Stu had only beau in the house a fuw OiA s egESTAR, j'uNi 7.

P. S.. I am this moment, by authorite, informed, that information has been given to the , Magistrates of this place, - of there bekg an intentieti - of some of the weavers to meet at a place called White Moss, a few miles from Manchester.

That , the unfOrtonate itiiuuarcli had both objet; in view can be little doubted; and it is surprising that Mr. Uox should - have laboureLl to establish so untbuuded a theory, as that he tvai chiefly influenced by the latter. It is the charkter of the Roman Catholic religion to pike 'all tempo ral below spiritual concerns, with whatever z:•al they my covet , power in this world, and JAMES U. wari'one of tho most bigotted Catholics that ever ex isted.
